Are Dell laptops good, /g/?
I don't much care for customization or anything. I might be interested in dual-booting with some Linux distro ( and I don't know if Dells are any good for this ).
I've had the M3800 and currently using the XPS 15, they're good if you dont buy the crappy consumer versions. Sadly you gotta pay to get good quality from Dell.

they're built shitty but they work. if you drop it you're fucked. Don't buy cheap. Expensive dells arent bad but anything under $400 is gonna be terrible.
I'd go with HP if you're on a budget and want something that's a bit sturdier. Otherwise yeah, go with a dell.

I have a budget of ~$450. I've heard Dells work and that's why I looked into them, but I didn't know if I should trust reviews or not.
Also, I've heard HPs are really shitty in that they don't allow you to do things like dual-booting and they often contain bloatware, how true is this?

If you're on such a tight budget, I recommend you buy a used business laptop. They have better build quality than almost any consumer laptop, they are really cheap second hand and you can get insane deals this way.
Dell Latitude, HP elitebook or thinkpad are the models to go with.
